Ten of the best Caribbean beaches: readers' travel tipshttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/oct/28/ten-best-caribbean-beaches-readers-tips
Palm-fringed stretches of sand in the middle of nowhere, a beach bar that serves barbecued lobster and mojitos … readers pick their favourite beaches in the Caribbean <br /><br /><strong>To add a tip for next week and be in with a chance of winning a Jack Wolfskin backpack worth £130, go to <a href="http://www.witness.theguardian.com">witness.theguardian.com</a></strong><p>Guadeloupe consists of two islands, together shaped like a butterfly. Grande-Terre in the east is flat, with white-sand beaches, and resorts. Basse-Terre on the west is an active volcano – lush, mountainous and less populated. A turn off the road round Basse-Terre in the commune of Deshaies brings you to Plage de la Perle, an arc of golden sand. It is more intimate and laid back than its better-known neighbour Plage de Grande Anse. It is never busy, although it is a favourite with the locals at the weekend. Uprooted palm trees, driftwood and coral left behind by the surf make it feel like a&nbsp;castaway beach but there are a couple of beach bars under the palm trees.<br /> <a href="http://www.myguadeloupeislands.com/" title=""><em>myguadeloupeislands.com</em></a><em> </em>Liedje</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/oct/28/ten-best-caribbean-beaches-readers-tips">Continue reading...</a>CaribbeanBeach holidaysDominican RepublicCosta RicaBritish Virgin IslandsCubaTrinidad and TobagoBarbadosGuadeloupeTravelMon, 28 Oct 2013 06:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/oct/28/ten-best-caribbean-beaches-readers-tipsPRAlamyPhotograph: AlamyAlamyPhotograph: AlamyAlamyPlage de la Perle, Guadeloupe.

Where in the world can you enjoy the best party before Lent? Been there readers recommend everything from a torchlit procession in Switzerland to full-on fiestas in South America<p>This traditional pre-Lenten Caribbean carnival is friendly and uncommercialised. A mixture of African masquerade and French carnival traditions, it begins at dawn on the first day, when people take to the streets in costumes or pyjamas, banging drums or saucepans. The climax on Carnival Tuesday features costume bands. The streets are so narrow that no one can remain a spectator for long and will soon find themselves jumping up behind a band on a truck.<br /><em>7-8 March, </em><a href="http://www.avirtualdominica.com" title=""><em>avirtualdominica.com</em></a><br />dorival</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/feb/14/readers-tips-carnivals-around-the-world">Continue reading...</a>TravelNiceFranceEuropeUruguaySouth AmericaColombiaArgentinaSpainSwitzerlandGermanyBoliviaTrinidad and TobagoCanary IslandsMon, 14 Feb 2011 10:55:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/feb/14/readers-tips-carnivals-around-the-worldPRAfrican and French traditions come together in Mas Dominik carnival in Dominica.PRMas Dominik carnival in Dominica.Guardian readers2011-02-14T10:55:00Z
